VIOWER EXCRETION ADVISD – My Immortal: Chapters 1-5

Okay, chaps, here’s the deal. I was trolling around TVTropes, as I am wont to do from time to time, and I happened upon an entry for a Harry Potter fanfic. It was called My Immortal, and was promised to be the worst thing ever written since the creation of human language, and it intrigued me.

Via twitter, I discovered that another enterprising soul (young Teddy Leach) had already read it, and done a Dramatic Commentary on the text. His take on it made me giggle, so I figured I’d steal the idea and do my own commentary. I’ll be doing it in chunks of roughly five chapters, whenever I can be bothered.

You should also read Teddy’s too, because he is hilarious and has a different take on certain things that I do. But read mine first. I have the better beard.

And so begins the experiement. Notes in blue are by me, everything else is as written.

There’s Always a Girl

Well, I may not have posted here for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ve not been writing.

While a load of things have been going on, the important thing is that I’m trying to knock out a chapter-per-week webnovella thing called There’s Always a Girl. To keep it from clogging up this site, however, I’ve gone and given it its own.

So, if you’re looking for something to read, check out http://theresalwaysagirl.wordpress.com

Hopefully I’ll be back here with other stories before too long, though!

Definitely Not Sherlock Holmes

No, really, it isn’t.

More of me playing Alone in the Dark

Here you go.

I Play a Game and You Get to Watch

I’ve been a bit tied up with university work, which means writing isn’t happening.  Of course, for some reason, I have enough time to play an awful computer game, video it, and comment.  Below are the first two parts.  Enjoy!

You can find part one here, and part two here!

From A Friend

Well, this was a competition entry for the Alibi network’s crime writing thing.  They gave use the first line and we had to turn it into a story.  I wasn’t shortlisted, but I’m proud with this story anyway, so I’m putting it up here.  I expect lots of comments decrying Alibi for not shortlisting me, it’s your duty!

A Girl of Ill Repute

More world building!  I like doing stories about people who show up in novel 2, helps me finish getting inside their head.  Hopefully you enjoy reading it.

Political Convention

This is probably flavour text rather than a story.  More for the Craneverse.  Largely a braindump so I can remember how Rand City works, but you might like it anyway.

A Paper Tyrant

I done a short story, look!  Slowly working my way back into getting the brain cogs rolling, hopefully so I can actually finish a second novel.

This is quite a dark story, be warned.

The Home Dining Experience

I done a new story!

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, university getting in the way and generally being annoying, but I’ve found the time to get one done at last.  As with a lot of the shorts I do, this one is concerned with developing a character in The Difficult Second Novel, so consider it a bit of backstory.

Not very long, and not very detailed, but I think it does what it needs to.  Hopefully I’ll get to do some proper stuff again soon though.
